Coffee and tea are my go-to drinks lately, and because of that, I’m usually craving for cookies to munch before my drinks. One of my favorite cookie types is lengua de gato but I don’t know how to make them (maybe next time I’ll try to find a recipe for one) so I thought to make lace cookies instead. I usually make lace cookies for Christmas for snacking while waiting for Christmas eve. This time, I decided to make the cookies healthier by using rolled oats and healthier sugar muscovado.What I love when baking lace cookies...
More than wearing face masks, we try to double our efforts when it comes to washing our hands. It’s the best way of protecting ourselves and our families from getting the virus COVID 19. When we go out of the house or even if we are inside our homes, with COVID or no COVID, this is the best time to practice the virtue of washing our hands. As a mom, although I hate to call it a blessing in disguise, maybe we can take this horrid crisis a learning experience, that hygiene, first and foremost, is super important and life-saving. Fighting...
Hotdogs and pancakes will be everyone’s favorite when it comes to breakfast combos.

I love using black gulaman (black agar agar or jelly powder) for dessert because you can complement it with whatever other ingredients you like, your preferred fruit, in your preferred sweetness. With this black gulaman dessert (used @mrhatgulaman of course), you can create your own version. With most of us staying at home because of covid19, you have all the time to be creative. Ingredients Black gulaman (cubed) – I use Mr. Hat Gulaman when I’m making jellies. Follow the procedure in sachet. Here I used 1/2...
COVID 19 has been causing our family a lot of stress, and I realized that it’s taking its toll on me. The anxieties I feel seem subtle but I am seeing some of the symptoms that I’m beginning to be stressed out a little bit more and more as days pass by. I couldn’t sleep much, my neck and back seem to be aching often, and I get paranoid whenever I sneeze and my throat gets itchy. I have chronic allergic rhinitis and whenever I have bouts of this allergy, it makes me anxious. And then the allergy disappears. To make matters...
Making kids stay at home without craving for unhealthy food can be daunting for some of us. To make it worse, even the parents find situations like an outbreak so unnerving that we also crave for comfort food. So I thought of baking a jar of brownies that contain less sugar. My secret, a pack of sugar-free Hersheys chocolate chips. Brownies you won’t be guilty about Guiltless Brownies Recipe 2/3 cup all purpose flour1/2 cup sugar2 tbsp butter2 tbsp water1 1/2 cups sugar free chocolates2 eggs1/2 tsp vanilla extract1/4 tsp...
What is quinoa? Pronounced as “keen-wah”, quinoa is a type of crop in which seeds are edible just like rice. Because I’m a rice lover, as well as my whole family, and time and time again we have to remember that white rice contains lots of sugar, I had to find alternatives to rice that I can incorporate in our daily menu. Since the kids will be at home because of an early vacation (I don’t want to use the recent announcement of “lockdown” in Metro Manila as a reason since I tend to hyperventilate...
Are you insured or have you ever tried to get insurance for yourself or for your family? Despite the fact that “insurance” is a very searchable word on the internet, I can still count on my fingers the people I know who are actually insured. Heck, I still have to find something better for my family. The least we have are the prepaid and short term insurances I got from blogging events while I’ve also just started getting insurance when we travel. To cut it short, I think many Filipinos wish to be insured. Who doesn’t...
